No, actually the power system IS revolutionary.

It's still just more modern batteries. Remember this?

And that was just some guys in a garage with five days on their hands and access to 384 28V tool batteries (which are usually bundles of smaller batteries).

Wow, that car couldn’t be much uglier, or at least outwardly less aerodynamic. Not to mention, I’d guess herding it around a corner is a bit of a chore compared to the 911.

No denying it’s fast though, impressive getting that much weight moving that quickly.

I didn’t hear but assume the timed runs were the “acceleration” car, so to be fair they really should have geared the Turbo for 120mph maxed out in top gear...

I think Lamborghini is still safe, for now.
